Do you think the Orioles would be interested in a 23-year-old player who can immediately step into their starting rotation and also be available to play the outfield or be the designated hitter a few days a week?
The Orioles and every other club in Major League Baseball are interested in Japanese phenom Shohei Otani.
Otani, who throws right-handed and hits left-handed, was 42-15 with a 2.52 ERA during the past five seasons for the Nippon Ham Fighters.
In 2016 and 2017, he batted .326 with 30 home runs and 98 RBIs in 169 games. Otani is a selective hitter, too. His on-base percentages throughout the past two seasons were above .400 and his OPS was 1.004 and .942.
